Gaming machine

Abstract

To provide a game machine highly efficiently using a capacity of a main ROM by executing prescribed processing without adding new processing when referring to information input from an input port to execute the prescribed processing.SOLUTION: A game machine includes setting value operation means, door opening / closing detection means, setting change processing means capable of changing a setting value, and input port processing means for executing processing of reading information from an input port. The input port processing means reads setting operation information and door opening / closing information, where second storage means has a prescribed area for storing the setting operation information and the door opening / closing information. The input port processing means stores the setting operation information read from a prescribed input port in the prescribed area, and the door opening / closing information read from a specific input port in the prescribed area, The setting change processing means refers to the setting operation information and the door opening / closing information stored in the predetermined area and determines the end of the processing by the setting change processing means.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 433

Claims

[Claim 1] A game control means for controlling the progress of the game, A game value control means connected to the aforementioned game control means, which performs control related to the management of game value, The system includes a performance control means connected to the game control means, which controls the performance based on information transmitted from the game control means, The game value control means is connectable to an external device and outputs connection information indicating the connection status with the external device to the game control means. The game value control means outputs ON connection information to the game control means when connected to the external device, and outputs OFF connection information to the game control means when not connected to the external device. If the aforementioned connection information is in the ON state, unit play can be started. The game control means transmits the connection information input from the game value control means to the performance control means. Even when the power is turned on, if the game value control means is connected to the external device, the connection information is in an off state for a predetermined period of time corresponding to the external device. The aforementioned performance control means is For a predetermined period of time longer than the aforementioned specified period, the system waits until the connection information is turned ON. If the connection information remains OFF after the specified period has elapsed, the system performs a connection abnormality notification process. When the power is turned on, if the connection information becomes ON within the specified period, the standby state is released, and the specified period for the next power-on is determined based on the waiting time until the connection information becomes ON. If the connection information becomes ON within the specified period when the power is turned on, a predetermined allowable time is added to the waiting time until the connection information becomes ON. If the result of this addition is equal to or greater than the currently set specified period, the currently set specified period is determined as the specified period for the next power-on. If the result of this addition is less than the currently set specified period, the result of this addition is determined as the specified period for the next power-on. A gaming machine characterized by the following features.
